He certainly didn't do Chuba any favors and made the situation more awkward and dramatic than it had to be. Coming off back to back games averaging close to 200 yards rushing you just dont put a hault to that, you continue to ride the hot hand and the chemistry Rico and the Oline had going in the run game. Chuba was coming off injury perfect excuse to ease him back into the game plan with spot duty because unless he was going to come in gashing people the way Rico had been doing (which he wasn't doing before his injury) you're setting him up to face what he's facing now. because Rico yards per carry hasn't dropped the only thing has dropped is his production due to coaches decision. Of course fans are going have the pitchfork outs we finally have an offense worth watching for two weeks after who knows how many seasons and then Canales comes back with the same ole, same ole of 3 and outs with a top 5 running back on the bench. If Chuba started showing some juice in relief/spot duty of Rico then you could transition to a dual headed attack but just declaring it and sticking to it with no results is ridiculous.

Packers are probably the best overall team we will have faced so far this season. Going to be tough sledding in Green Bay. Like last week the best chance we have is to establish a running game shortened the game and keep Green Bay offense on the sideline. Defense has to show up, they got embarrassed by the Bills if they have another poor performance it will be 2nd blowout in a week.

Rico dapped Chuba up when he came off the field after the touchdown there's no issue between them. But I'm sure he has to be frustrated, he's set the league on fire for 2 weeks when he was the main option only to be relegated to 2nd fiddle while still out producing the "starter".

These guys are crazy. We trot Chuba out there on the first drive two straight handoffs he averages 2 yards a carry on that drive Andy gets sacked on 3rd down and punt. 2nd drive with Rico in we throw a pass first play for first down to TMac, next play we run Rico for 5 yard gain, next play incomplete pass, next play another 5 yard gain for Rico, followed by another incomplete pass, and then Rico breaks a 24 yard gain to get us into the red zone, before Dalton fumbles. Half of Rico carries came in his first drive of the game. Yes we were in the hole, mainly due to coaching sucks.

If Buffalo's lead back was averaging 2.8 yards a carry like ours they probably still beat us by a score of 13-9 or something, but we don't get blown out. Allen didn't do much in that game, he just didn't lose it for them, there was no trickery they lined up in their heavy personnel and ran right through the defense.

Reporter: "Dave you said you said you a had a tough time getting the run game going, but Rico averaged almost 7 yards a carry, how do you keep that balance while still trying to get your best players involved?" Canales: "Yes that's something to look at too, we gotta look at schemes and we gotta look at personnel that gives us our best chance to win." We have to look at "schemes" as to why one back averaging 2 yards a carry gets more snaps and carries against the 31st rushing defense than the one averaging almost 6 yards a carry for the season and one of the top backs in the NFL in rushing yards. I thought Matt Rhule was disingenuous, but this guy, is giving him a run for bos money.

Yep Buffalo was giving up 5.8 yards a carry this season. They gave up 6.8 yards a carry to Dowdle in this game but instead of giving it to him 20 plus times we only ran him 8 and decided to give it to Chuba for 12 carries and 2.8 yards a pop. Thus we faced alot of 3 and long and Andy being a statue he is could not get out of the way of the pressure.

Yes as much I believe this is a move retarded franchises make, it may be best for all involved. Dowdle is clearly the best back on the team and they are clearly invested in Chuba and trying to pretend we have some sort of two-headed monster rushing attack (we don't). Get something out of the deal instead of letting him walk. And then I can know you're not actually trying to compete this season and find other things to do on my Sundays.

No competent teams would play their best players. Buffalo sure could of helped us out by rotating drives with Cook today. Instead they just kept feeding him until the Panthers will broke. That's what competent teams do.

2.8 yards a carry is not terrible?

Nor the future the way this organization is ran.

The best weapon Young needs is a running game. Allen didnt even have to do much today because of Cook, should have been our gameplan but our star back got 8 carries.

What happened to alternating series?

I don't have faith in them gathering players, if he's still playing Chuba over Rico what faith do I have them putting the best players on the field.

Caneles I don't like him as coach I'm about a Green Bay blowout from rooting for him to lose out so he can get fired.

Put Hooker in damn!!

Something told me to take Cook in fantasy, but believing the Panthers had turned a corner with rushing defense ugh.

Corbett loss his job to Mays due to injury. This is a more of a 4 year contract extension just got signed vs 1 year deal. Even though 1 year deal is much better.

This is what happens when losing franchises get cute. Hottest RB in the league but you know we're going to cool him off and make sure we give our middle of the road RB coming off an inury equal playing time so he can get his 3.0 yards a carry and the everyone in the front office is happy yay!!!

I've never seen such indept coaching in my life, if I'm Rico I would demand a trade. Let Bryce and Chuba win 4 games each season for the next 4 years. I hope Tepper breaks the checkbook and gives the biggest contract in NFL history.

Game over we can't even run our way back into the game now. I'm off the Caneles train. We ain't winning anything with Tepper as an owner.

Will Chuba top 30 yards this game inquiring minds want to know

Dalton is having horrible game. But all this falls in the hand of the genius head coach playing people due to their contracts instead of what's happening on the field. Wonder if this is Tepper pulling the strings somehow.

Look at Bill's putting the ball in the hands of their best players. I'm about to sour on Dave Caneles with this rotational B.S.

Well atleast we can look forward to Chuba's drive next.
